372: Chapter 382 Heart Removal and Egg Extraction! The Valkyrie's Proposal!

Following the dark red line of Karma deduced by Deduction Saint Han Ying, the group silently descended into a secret camp within the Blood-colored Passage defense line.

When they saw the target the line of Karma ultimately connected to, the several Great Emperors present all breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

The target was named Feng Yuxiu, a Seventh Stage Golden Immortal defensive general.

Fortunately, it was just a mid-level officer, not a Saint guarding the core of the defense line.

This indicated that the infiltration of the Realm Demons in the Wanxiang Star Domain was still in its early stages and had not yet caused an irreparable breach in the defense line.

At this moment, Feng Yuxiu was sitting cross-legged inside his tent, meditating.

When he opened his eyes and suddenly saw several figures radiating terrifying pressure appearing out of thin air in his tent, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly feigned a look of being flattered yet terrified, kneeling on one knee.

"I... I am Feng Yuxiu, captain of the seventh squad of the defense line. Greetings to all Great Emperors! Greetings to the Valkyrie!"

Feng Yuxiu's posture was impeccable, and the trembling in his tone was just right; it was exactly the normal reaction of an officer suddenly encountering a high-level inspection.

Great Emperor Purgatory looked down at him from above, his brows slightly furrowed.

Because just by sensing his aura, he could not detect a single trace of the filthy aura of the Realm Demons on this Feng Yuxiu! The circulation of Immortal Qi within the other party was extremely pure.

If it weren't for the lock of Deduction Saint Han Ying's line of Karma, even if he had passed by Feng Yuxiu, he would never have suspected that this person was a traitor!

"What terrifying concealment."

Great Emperor Purgatory was secretly shocked. No longer holding back, he unreservedly and forcefully pierced his Late Stage Emperor Realm Divine Sense into Feng Yuxiu's body, searching inch by inch!

A few seconds later, Great Emperor Purgatory's pupils constricted sharply. He had found it!

Deep within Feng Yuxiu's beating heart, there was actually a black Demon Egg the size of a thumb!

And the moment Great Emperor Purgatory's Divine Sense touched the Demon Egg, the egg, which had originally been in a dormant state, seemed to sense the danger of exposure and instantly went berserk!

"Arghhhhhh!!!"

Feng Yuxiu, who had been bowing his head in obeisance just a second ago, suddenly let out an inhuman, shrill scream.

Without even a chance to react, the Demon Egg crazily extended countless fine black tentacles from his heart, instantly piercing through his internal organs and meridians like steel needles!

The originally clear whites of Feng Yuxiu's eyes were filled with pitch-black Devilish Qi at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hideous purple-black veins bulged on his cheeks, and his bones emitted a teeth-grinding cracking sound, beginning a terrifying mutation.

And while mutating, the aura on his body skyrocketed crazily as if it had taken a rocket!

Seventh Stage Golden Immortal... Eight-path Golden Immortal... Golden Immortal Ninth Path!

In just half a breath's time, his cultivation actually had a terrifying trend of breaking through the Saint Realm barrier!

"Stop."

Just as Feng Yuxiu was about to fully demonize into a Saint Realm monster, Su Feng stood where he was and uttered a single word, indifferently. His words carried the power of the Law!

"Hum—" An invisible Law of Time instantly enveloped Feng Yuxiu.

His violently twisting body, along with those black tentacles crazily moving inside him, were forcibly frozen in mid-air.

Even his skyrocketing aura was frozen, unable to advance even a fraction further.

Watching this horrifying scene, everyone's expressions were extremely grave. If he had truly been allowed to fully demonize, it was feared that none of the ordinary soldiers in this camp today would have been spared.

"No need for idle talk, just search his Soul directly." Su Feng glanced at the frozen Feng Yuxiu and gestured with his chin towards Great Emperor Purgatory. "Deeply infected individuals like him are long since fully assimilated and beyond saving."

Great Emperor Purgatory nodded, a flash of grim killing intent in his eyes, and his large hand slammed onto Feng Yuxiu's crown.

Facing a frozen Golden Immortal, a Soul search by a Late Stage Emperor Realm Cultivator was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

In just a moment, Great Emperor Purgatory had figured out the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

He flicked his finger, turning the core memory from Feng Yuxiu's mind into light and shadow, projecting it into the air for everyone to watch.

In the image, it was an encounter outside the Blood-colored Passage some time ago.

The twenty-man patrol squad led by Feng Yuxiu unfortunately encountered a powerful Demon general.

Unexpectedly, that Demon general did not slaughter them all immediately but instead threw out a black Demon Egg.

The Demon general told them in a seductive whisper: "As long as you are willing to surrender to the Realm Demons, you can not only obtain the immortality you dream of, but also directly cross the chasm of Cultivation and ascend by one major Realm."

However, the nature of the Realm Demons is inherently cruel and prone to manipulating human nature. The Demon general pointed to the Demon Egg and said: "There is only one spot. Only the person who survives to the end is qualified to embrace this evolution."

The following images made everyone present clench their fists.

Feng Yuxiu, the captain who usually led the charge and called his team members brothers, actually raised his butcher's knife against his comrades from behind, driven by the temptation of power and survival.

To survive, he personally slaughtered the other nineteen comrades in his squad. Stepping on their corpses, he sacrificed his own Soul and traded it for that Demon Egg!

The image stopped abruptly there.

"Beast!!!"

Jiuyou was so angry he gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with thick killing intent.

Void Emperor also sneered: "Harm his comrades and kneel to the demons; does he think this will really give him a way out? Those who are not of our kind will surely have a different heart! A principle even we understand, how could the Realm Demons treat them as true kin? They are nothing but expendable materials that get to live a few more days!"

"Puchi!" Great Emperor Purgatory couldn't be bothered to look at Feng Yuxiu again; his claws exerted force, directly piercing into his frozen chest, and he forcibly ripped out the Demon Egg along with the heart!

Without the support of the Demon Egg, Feng Yuxiu's body instantly dissolved into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

Great Emperor Purgatory held the Demon Egg in his palm. He saw that the Demon Egg was still connected to several scarlet flesh tentacles, and inside the Demon Egg, two completely different powers were eerily flowing!

"This... how is this possible?!" After sensing it carefully, Great Emperor Purgatory was greatly shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief: "This Demon Egg has actually fused the Immortal Qi of the Star Domain and the Devilish Qi of the Realm together, and they aren't repelling each other?!"

You must know that Immortal Qi and Devilish Qi are like water and fire; once they meet, it is a life-or-death devouring. This is a common principle that the entire Great Thousand Star Domain has been unable to break! Yet, the mother nest of the Realm Demons has managed to do it.

"Next, I think we can focus on studying this Demon Egg." Wu Qin, who had been silently observing, suddenly spoke. Her heroic eyes stared at the Demon Egg, flashing with a wise light.

As the commander of the army, Wu Qin always believed that "risks and opportunities coexist."

"The Demon Egg seems to be used by the demons to control our Star Domain Cultivators. But thinking about it from the other side, all things have their mutual generation and restraint."

Wu Qin analyzed clearly: "If we can dissect this Demon Egg and thoroughly research the Origin principle that allows it to fuse Immortal Qi and Devilish Qi... then can't we, as Star Domain Cultivators, also manage to absorb the power of the Realm Demons for our own use?"

"As long as we can decipher it, we will no longer be at the disadvantage of passive defense! We can even counter the Realm Demons!"

This crazy proposal made the several Great Emperors look at each other, but in their hearts, a trace of excitement faintly rose.

Su Feng looked at the Valkyrie before him, who dared to think and act, and revealed an undisguised appreciation in his eyes.

"Good idea." Su Feng smiled and looked at Wu Qin, his tone filled with indulgence: "Feel free to go all out. Just ask for whatever resources you need, and if anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"

Wu Qin did not speak. She just quietly looked back at Su Feng.

In those eyes, usually cold and serious, waves now rippled like autumn water, hiding a thousand words, which finally turned into a touch of tenderness.

No woman could refuse a man who unconditionally supports her career and holds up the sky behind her.

Su Feng looked at those eyes; how could he not understand the Valkyrie's feelings at this moment?

He quietly transmitted his voice via Divine Sense, which landed in Wu Qin's ears: "Don't look at me like that. Tonight... I belong to you."
